This is another thing we picked up not to long ago. And as with everything else it's kind of for the price and kind of so we're not using harsh chemicals in the house.
We use to use Fantastic, 409, whatever we could get. $5/bottle. All smells horrible. Cleaned... ok.
Then we went straight for the Vinegar. $2-3 for a 1.3 gallon bottle from costco. (i think) And then you cut it 50/50 with water. We've used it a bit, but it's not really a great cleaner. Straight or diluted. For the bathroom, it just doesn't remove grim, unless you add baking soda to the mix, and with it being abrasive, you can actually scrub away stuff. Vinegar is supposed to be a deodorizer, but never had much luck with that. Though our biggest problem was animal smells that has seeped into wood, and we've recently painted over that, so we'll see how that does. I was kinda getting sick of it. The smell i got over for the most part, but it's still pretty nasty.
So, the current thing we're on now, and this is really by accident, is Simple Green (
Simple Green). It's $5 for a spray bottle the size of a regular Windex bottle. But, you're not supposed to use it straight. It's concentrated. For Heavy cleaning you dilute it 1 part SG to 10 parts water. Or for light cleaning it's 1:30. I bought it originally for when I was painting car parts, and was told that it was great for remove grease/etc to prep a part before paint. The bottle says you can clean kitchens, bathrooms, etc, so since I had a good amount left after painting, i moved the bottle inside. It's non-toxic, biodegradable. My wife was doing research on it yesterday (while I was cleaning with it, lol) and found some good info. It seems to be an all natural cleaner. No harsh chemicals. This stuff actually smells alright. And the smell dissipates QUICK. No coming back an hour later to the room you cleaned and wondering if the bottle blew up in there.
So, what do you all do?
